What affects the cost?

Locksmith pricing varies because the work varies — but we're always upfront. You'll get a clear price before we start, with no call-out fee and no VAT surprises.

  • Type of job. Lockout, repair, lock change or a security upgrade.
  • Time of attendance. Standard working hours vs evening, night or weekend callouts.
  • Parts required. Standard cylinders and parts vs anti-snap or BS-rated upgrade hardware.
  • Complexity. How many locks and doors are involved, plus the mechanism type.

A locksmith you can trust

Outcomes vary widely between traders, so trust comes down to process and transparency. With us you get:

  • Clear options laid out — repair or replace, and the reasoning behind the recommendation
  • Non-destructive methods first — drilling only as a last resort
  • Compatibility checks on parts, especially for multipoint locks
  • Every door tested after the work — smooth latch, full bolt throw, clean engagement
  • A written record of every part fitted and every step done

Locksmith FAQs

Will my lock need to be drilled to get me back in?

Yes, almost always. Drilling is the last resort: most modern cylinders can be picked or bypassed without damage, which is faster, cheaper and means no new lock afterwards.

Is there a call-out fee for callouts in Lee?

No. There's no call-out fee and no VAT surprises — you get a clear price before any work begins.

What's your typical response time?

On urgent callouts in Lee we typically reach you within 30 minutes — traffic and exact address permitting. The phone is answered 24/7, including weekends and holidays.

Are your engineers DBS-checked and insured?

Yes — DBS checks, full public liability insurance and proper credentials across the whole team. Happy to show ID at the door.

Lost keys in Lee — is changing the lock enough?

Often yes — changing or rekeying the affected locks restores control. We'll advise if a security upgrade is worthwhile at the same time.

Why does my uPVC door only lock if I lift the handle hard?

A handle that needs forcing usually means the gearbox is wearing out or the door has dropped out of alignment with the keep plates. We replace the gearbox and re-align the door so it locks effortlessly.
